CocoaPods is an open source dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects.
1) Get CocoaPods
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
2) If you have a project with no podfile
2.1) Open the terminal and navigate to your projects location
2.2) Execute "pod init"*
2.3) Open your podfile in Xcode or use "open -a Xcode Podfile"
2.4) Remove the comment tag
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, "6.0"
Use the proper platform number
Your Podfile should look like the following by now:
|
xcodeproj ‘MyProject.xcodeproj'
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '8.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
# use_frameworks!
platform :ios, '8.0'
target 'MyProject' do
end
target 'MyProjectTest’ do
end
3) Then you can add any cocoa pod, for instance AFNetworking by adding the following between platform and target:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
pod 'GoogleMaps'
and execute
$ cd <path-to-project>
$ pod install
4) From now on you should always open your project via .xcworkspace rather than from the .xcodeproj
NOTES:
*In Swift you need to use "use_frameworks!" inside the target. Sometimes the podfile es empty it need to have a target, such as:
